1 76 The Trotting and tbe Pacing Horse 



bay horse, foaled March 13, 1889, dam Manette 

 by Nutwood. His record of 2.iof to high-wheel 

 sulky is the best of its kind ever made. The 

 champion three-year-old trotters by Electioneer 

 are Hinda Rose (1883-1885), 2.19^, and Sunol 

 (1889-1893), 2.io|. The champion yearling by 

 Electioneer is Bell Bird, 1891, 2.26^. In 1894 the 

 yearling record was reduced to 2.23 by Adbell 

 by Advertiser, son of Electioneer. In 1891 

 Sunol, as a five-year-old, reduced the trotting 

 record for that age to 2.o8j. This was to high- 

 wheel sulky without artificial aids, and it is still 

 the best of its kind. In 1891, trotting to high- 

 wheel sulky, Palo Alto reduced the stallion 

 record to 2.o8f. As Sunol is out of Waxana by 

 General Benton, she out of Waxy, thoroughbred 

 daughter of Lexington, and as the dam of Palo 

 Alto is Dame Winnie, thoroughbred daughter of 

 Planet, these two performers made clear the fact, 

 even to the obtuse, that Electioneer was wonder- 

 fully prepotent. He transmitted the trot through 

 other running mares, notably in Ansel, 2.20, dam 

 Annette, thoroughbred daughter of Lexington ; 

 Azmoor, 2.20^-, dam Mamie C., thoroughbred 

 daughter of imported Hercules ; and in Advance, 

 2.22^, dam Lady Amanda, thoroughbred daugh-
